Chapter 113: Born of Suspicion
It was not for nothing that Huan all failed to make an appointment in Zitan Lane that day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As early as three days ago, Huan Ji came back from Wuyi Lane and arranged the schedule for the appointment of Zitan Lane, so when the servant came to ask for dinner, he specially advanced the breakfast by an hour, but he didn't know that it was this small act that made Sima Xi suspicious.
Sima Xi is naturally not a vegetarian, and when he ordered Cheng Ji to investigate, from time to time, Cheng Ji came back, and found out how he sneaked into Wuyi Alley. Sima Xi listened, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and a pair of eagle-like pupils looked ahead, Cheng Ji already knew what to do.
It was early in the morning, the sky was not yet light, Huan Ji had already gotten up to wash, in fact, he was excited all night looking forward to the dawn, tossing and turning and sleepless all night, but when he got up, he was still very energetic, just when he finished changing into a Zhu Jiangshu brocade spider web robe, tied the crown, but someone knocked on the door.
Huan opened the door and looked, Cheng Ji was standing outside the door dressed in the clear glow of day and night, smiling all over his face.
Huan was suspicious, saluted, and asked, "It's early to become a steward, what wind blew you?"
"Huan Xian Ma is early, the old servant said hello to Huan Xian Ma, and the prince invited Xian Ma to go to the study. ”
"So early?"
"The prince has always been diligent and hardworking, smelling the chicken and dancing. ”
"But ......" Huan Ji hesitated for a moment, if he said to Cheng Ji that he would have an appointment later and refused the prince, after all, the prince was the foundation of his life, and it didn't make sense in the situation, so he asked, "Fang Cai Cheng said that the manager and Huan were 'happy', where did the 'joy' come from?"
"This ...... The old servant only knew one or two, probably because there was a rumor at the end of Wuyi Lane, and Xie Fuxuan's son asked someone to secretly purchase Huan Xian Ma's calligraphy in the market for study. Huan Xian Ma is really better!"
Huan all heard this, and his heart was naturally excited: "Really?"
"It's true!" Cheng Ji saluted again, "Congratulations to Huan Xian Ma! ”
"That's really a Lao prince!" Huan all laughed together for a while, and then retracted slightly, "But for such a trivial matter, why does the prince need to summon Huan to talk?"
"Huan Xian Ma, it's true that you are proud of your talents, but you really don't know how to be an official! The prince is so important to you, maybe there are other things to discuss with you, I don't know. ”
"Do you have to do it today?" Huan Jun frowned slightly.
"Isn't there something going on in Huan Xian Mamo today?"
"Not really. Huan said, "Dare to ask the steward, how long will it take?"
"It shouldn't be long, Wang Yechen needs to enter the palace to face the saint. ”
Huan Jieda breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his brows, and happily followed Cheng Ji along.
After waiting for a while, Sima Xi really came as promised, followed by a few maids with wooden cases, Sima Xi was still the grand and majestic appearance, reflecting the morning sun, adding a little bit of vigor. Huan Jie raised his eyes to peek at the group of maids while saluting, Sima Xi Chidan gilt robe sleeves waved, the maidservants were displayed in turn, the plates and cups on the wooden table in their hands were placed on the table, and the exquisite jade vessels were still filled with delicious food and wine.
Sima Xi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Originally, the emperor asked the king to enter the palace to discuss state affairs with breakfast, but unfortunately the emperor had something to do temporarily, so the king came to pass Huan Xian Ma to accompany the king to have breakfast." Huan Xian Ma, how are you?"
Huan Ji was nervous in his heart, but he said: "Thank you for your appreciation, Huan is very honored." ”
Sima Xi's eyes were like electricity, and even Huan's fleeting frowning eyebrows also made him catch the bottom of his eyes, and he smiled with satisfaction in his heart, and said to Cheng Ji: "Give Huan Xian a seat." Sima Xi sat down and said to Huan, "You really caught up." Liangzhou paid tribute to a batch of honeydew melons, with this hot and smoked morning sun to eat the most refreshing, today you can have a mouthful. ”
"It is a blessing to the prince. ”
"Sit down. When the king heard about it, Xie Fuxuan also ordered people to collect Huan Xian Ma Da in the city to study. This king will tell the emperor about this matter, although the day of the word appreciation conference is not equal, but in the end, this king thinks that Huan Xian Ma is still a step ahead. ”
"Thank you for your cultivation. But Huan has always been paid in the name of 'Chu Meng', I am afraid that the rumors on the market are all fakes, so that Xie Fuxuan wasted some effort. Huan said, "Huan is confident that his skills are better than Xie Fuxuan, which is better or worse, it only takes time to decide, and the judgment is made, and now, it is already clear." ”
"Well said!" Sima Xi laughed, and ordered the maid and Huan to add wine, "This king is a person who appreciates such a dashing and uninhibited talent as Huan Xian Ma, and this king respects Huan Xian Ma with a cup." ”
"How dare you dare, Huan thanked the prince and thanked the prince for his care. ”
The two of them talked about trivial matters like this, Sima Xi was nothing more than gossiping about Huan Ji, talking for a while and serving a few dishes and talking for a while, and the sky outside the house was bright, and when it was near, it was like he was going to eat this breakfast until noon. The flame of anxiety in Huan Jie's heart grew as the sun rose, Sima Xi became more and more enthusiastic, and his answer became more and more absent-minded, but no matter how he probed his mouth, Sima Xi was still in high spirits, and there was no intention of ending breakfast.
"Lord Wang. Huan couldn't bear it after all, and said, "Huan Mou's breakfast is almost used, the prince taught Huan to read more about the art of war, Huan remembered it, and usually read it in the morning every day, lest he slack off for a day, and ask the prince to forgive Huan Mou to leave first." ”
"Huan Xian Ma, this habit is not good. Sima Xi drank all the wine and kept his voice open, "How can you read at a fixed hour every day, Xian Ma can go back to study today, if the emperor summons him tomorrow, do you dare to shirk it?"
"Huan didn't dare to ......"
"This king is about to discuss with you how to deal with the Murong Ministry, now the next battle is about to start, a thousand moments, this king trusts you to be the bottom of this king's heart, but what countermeasures do you have to offer?"
As soon as these words came out, Huan all understood that he couldn't go to Tanxiang today, and if he came, he would be safe, although he had some regrets in his heart, but in the end, Sima Xi felt that he was trusted, so he gritted his teeth and simply ignored the first dream.
Huan Jie 7788 said his opinion on the battle situation between the two armies, Sima Xi lowered the corners of his eyes and listened, faintly flashing with scorching light in his eyes, Huan Jie finally concluded: "According to Huan's opinion, if you want to capture the old people, you should first tolerate Murong Ministry, so that he can get some benefits and relax his vigilance, first, to ensure that there will be no trouble, and secondly, it will be used by the prince in the future." ”
Sima Xi listened, and was silent for a moment, at that moment only Huan was a little uneasy, he was confident that he was right, but this was only her opinion, and he might not be able to say it to the heart of the prince. Waiting, I saw the corner of Sima Xi's lips on one side lightly, raised his eyes to stare at Huan Jie, and said with a smile: "If the art of war is not in vain, it is very good." ”
Huan Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your appreciation." ”
The two of them talked a lot more, added a few pots of wine, and Sima Xizhi dragged the breakfast past the hour before letting him go, naturally, the process was all without a trace.
Closing the door again, Cheng Ji said: "I sent someone to the city to investigate, 'she' really went out, but fortunately, she has gone back at this moment." ”
Sima Xi snorted coldly and said, "If it is really an untrained beast, it will go wrong if you are not careful." ”
"According to the prince, how will the palace treat him in the future?"
"The living materials are the same, but from today this king will not see him, if he comes to look for me, he will find a way to go, and in addition, the confidential matter of the relationship with Xianbei should not be known to him for follow-up. ”
"The old servant obeyed. ”
"What a Huan all. Sima Xi's eyes were ruthless, "The ambition is so big, and he is trying to master the secrets of this king and manipulate the people of this king." Chengji, you must take care of this person and use his strengths, but don't give him the opportunity to bite us back in the future. Sima Xi paused again after speaking, and said: "Xianbei Murong's place, the next battle is imminent, and you need to keep an eye on it." ”
